Boosting Basis for S Corp Stockholders

At first blush, the S corporation basis (and at-risk) rules appear to be simple - an S stockholder's basis in his stock is increased by the cash contributed to the corporation and by the share of income allocated to the stockholder and decreased by distributions and the share of losses allocated to him. In the latest issue of Journal of Passthrough Entities, Steve Owen discusses what a recent Tax Court decision tells us about how to structure loans to an S corporation to obtain stock basis and an amount at risk.

In the current issue of the Journal of State Taxation, Mary Ann Gall and Laura Kulwicki discuss nexus guidelines and highlight recent developments in this area that may affect your clients or your business.
